Just test drove both xv and cx 5 over the weekend and am seriously considering buying the xv. Cx5 handling and engine was surprisingly bad... I really wanted the cx 5 before the test drive but not anymore...

However, I've still got one last issue with it. Is subaru's general maintenance and service more expensive than say, the crv, cx5 and also the asx? Do I have to wait very long for parts if I ever had to change the side mirrors or the bumper if I had an accident with the car?

Thanks guys!

Are you comparing XV with 2WD CX5 or 4WD CX5?  i think you should try the 2WD CX5 which i feel has a better engine response than the AWD XV.

Test drove the 2wd variant gunh.. Engine felt labouring.. Was very loud when we tried to accelerate to overtake. Had a couple second delay before it came to life and roaarrr! Definitely not as linear n smooth as xv.

Also xv stick to the the ground wayyy more and had considerably less body roll. Felt good with xv's firm ride.
